Hello again,
I think I answered my own question. I was looking in all the wrong places. Lilith,
as near as I can figure out, is not an actual person, but rather the phonetic rendering
of the older name of a "night demon".
The myth surrounding lilith is essentially
that she was the unsubmissive first wife of Adam who ultimately committed adultery
with demons to spawn the succubi.
I apologize for asking questions that needed only
one further step of research.
Not a problem; glad you found your answer. As far as
I can recall, you are correct. :-)
This myth is popular among feminists. It, of course, has
no biblical basis.

P.S. Thank you so much for the wonderful work
you do. I am a freshman in college and I come again and again to your
site to answer questions of my own and those of my friends. You are doing
a tremendous amount to not only spread the faith, but to preserve its
integrity among the youth. God bless.
Thanks for your kind and encouraging words. We'd love to have your questions.
